QBS-RFP This project will result in the programming, design, and construction of approximately 35,000 square feet of an unused, vacant lot in Old Town into a vibrant, high functioning riverfront destination for pedestrians, skaters, and bikers in downtown Portland. Activation of the unused space would create a natural flow between classic downtown Portland attractions and add connectivity to the neighborhood, likely catalyzing additional development in the surrounding area. The unique location, layout and topographic nature of the park makes it an ideal site to incorporate both skateable terrain with surrounding pedestrian and plaza areas that will serve as an inclusive space for a range of users.

The project is funded via:
